CAUTION: Crowded logs will cause poor combustion and result in excessive soot formation.
Depending on the log style and size, log sets contain from 6 to 10 individual logs and sometimes pine cones. The largest logs
will be the Front and Rear Logs. Some log sets have two separate front logs which simulate a charred/burnt effect between the
two halves. (Figure 18) Place the Longest Log (or 2 largest "charred" logs if applicable) as far forward on the Grate as possible.
Longest
The next
Log is placed as far to the rear as possible on top of optional Log lifters (Figure 18A) (if provided). The re-
maining logs, or "Top Logs" are placed diagonally across the Front and Rear logs with the larger top logs placed first allowing
flame to pass freely between them. Several examples are provided below with the Burner Pan and Valve omitted for clarity.
